Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn

Representative Text

1 Herr Christ, der einig Gotts Sohn,
Vaters in Ewigkeit,
aus seim Herzen entsprossen,
gleichwie geschrieben steht,
er ist der Morgensterne,
sein Glänzen streckt er ferne
vor andern Sternen klar;

2 für uns ein Mensch geboren
im letzten Teil der Zeit,
daß wir nicht wärn verloren
vor Gott in Ewigkeit,
den Tod für uns zerbrochen,
den Himmel aufgeschlossen,
das Leben wiederbracht:

3 laß uns in deiner Liebe
und Kenntnis nehmen zu,
daß wir am Glauben bleiben,
dir dienen im Geist so,
daß wir hier mögen schmecken
dein Süßigkeit im Herzen
und dürsten stets nach dir.

4 Du Schöpfer aller Dinge,
du väterliche Kraft,
regierst von End zu Ende
kräftig aus eigner Macht.
Das Herz uns zu dir wende
und kehr ab unsre Sinne,
Daß sie nicht irrn von dir.

5 Ertöt uns durch dein Güte,
erweck uns durch dein Gnad.
Den alten Menschen kränke,
daß der neu' leben mag,
und hier auf dieser Erden
den Sinn und alls Begehren
und G'danken hab zu dir.
